Chapter 320: Chapter 320 Thirteenth Master

Two figures stood back to back, Fang Han’s precious sword angled towards the sky, while Li Xiaoyao’s sword tip rested on the ground; neither moved, as though they had become statues.

Jiang Lichun looked at Li Xiaoyao with concern. The last scene had happened too fast, even he hadn’t seen clearly who had won.

“Clang!”

The precious sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, emitting a clear, ringing sound, blood spurting from Fang Han’s neck in a terrifying, fountain-like gush.

Fang Han clutched his neck desperately with both hands and fell to his knees, his bloodshot eyes filled with unwillingness.

The vital essence rapidly drained from his body; Fang Han had died, falling to the ground, his blood staining the green grass red.

Now Jiang Lichun was truly shocked. He knew only too well what Li Xiaoyao’s cultivation level was.

A cultivator at the eighth layer of the Condensation Realm had prevailed in a head-on clash with a cultivator of the ninth rank of the Abstinence Realm—it was simply too unbelievable, too surreal.

Had he not seen it with his own eyes, Jiang Lichun would never have believed it.

If today’s combat result were to spread, Li Xiaoyao’s name would likely instantaneously become known throughout the entire cultivator community.

“Kid, I didn’t see that coming,” Jiang Lichun walked over and patted him on the shoulder. He was about to ask what technique Li Xiaoyao had used when Li Xiaoyao’s body suddenly fell straight down.

Jiang Lichun was startled, hurried to support him, and said, “Kid, kid, are you okay?”

He reached out to check under Li Xiaoyao’s nose; thankfully, thankfully, there was still breath.

He quickly examined Li Xiaoyao’s body and found a deep, bone-visible sword wound on his chest.

Li Xiaoyao had dodged by a few centimeters at the last moment, otherwise, that sword strike would have been fatal.

Even so, Li Xiaoyao was now seriously injured, one false move could potentially lead to death.

Jiang Lichun wasn’t going to let him die. He hoisted him onto his back, glanced back at the swiftly approaching Zhu Jiuyin, quickly collected Fang Han’s storage ring and the precious sword, and swiftly left the scene.

Zhu Jiuyin quickly followed, gazing at the two bodies in the blood pool. She lowered her head, flicked her snake-like tongue, and engulfed both bodies into her belly.

…

Jindu, a large courtyard beneath the Imperial City.

The gate of the large courtyard was gently pushed open from the outside, and a middle-aged man in formal attire strode in.

In the courtyard, under a large locust tree, sat an old man.

The middle-aged man quickly approached, bowed slightly, and respectfully called out, “Thirteenth Uncle.”

“Hmm,” Thirteenth Uncle with closed eyes inquired, “What’s the matter that can’t wait until morning?”

The middle-aged man got straight to the point and said, “Thirteenth Uncle, I just received a call from Li Zhong. He says he has discovered an ancient tomb in Ling City with a Spirit Cultivation Realm guardian demon beast.”

Thirteenth Uncle slowly opened his eyes, showing some surprise, “Oh? A Spirit Cultivation Realm guardian demon beast? It seems the owner of the tomb must have had a pretty high cultivation level in life.”

“So, Thirteenth Uncle, who do you think should be sent?”

Thirteenth Uncle’s finger tapped lightly on the bamboo chair and he said, “Let Li Tu handle it. The boy’s been under house arrest for a while; I reckon he’s built up quite a bit of anger. It would do him good to go and slay that demon beast, to blow off some steam.”

The middle-aged man nodded and responded, “Alright, I’ll go tell Li Tu right away.”

After the man had left the courtyard and walked the whole way down the alley, he finally got into a parked recreational vehicle.

Thirteenth Uncle held a high position in the Li Family, and no matter who visited, they could never drive their cars into the alley—this was a rule nobody dared to break.

Once inside the RV, a glass of water was immediately handed to him. The man took out a satellite phone and dialed a number. After a few rings, the call connected: “Thirteenth Uncle has spoken. Li Tu’s confinement is over. He will go to Ling City to perform a mission.”

“What task?”

…

Early the next morning, several carriages stopped outside the alley, the doors opened, and several young men, brimming with anger, marched swiftly towards the alley.

Even in their anger, the young men did not dare to act rashly upon arriving. They respectfully knocked on the door, and not until a voice from inside said, “Come in,” did they dare to push the door open and enter.

It seemed as if the Thirteenth Elder had been sitting under the locust tree all night, his posture not having changed at all.

The few who came in called out respectfully: “Thirteenth Elder.”

“What brings you to see this old man?” Thirteenth Elder said with a smile, somewhat surprised.

The man leading the group expressed his dissatisfaction: “Thirteenth Elder, I heard from Uncle Jun that you’ve sent Li Tu to Ling City for a mission.”

Thirteenth Elder hummed affirmatively and with a gesture of his right hand, a snow-white squirrel leaped down from the tree and landed on his shoulder.

“I don’t accept this!” the man said, neck stiff with defiance: “I, Li Yu, have done so much for the family. What has Li Tu done? All he knows is to woo girls and drink. Why send him?”

“You, oh you,” Thirteenth Elder laughed helplessly: “Enough, if you want to go, then go.”

Feeling some of his anger dissipate, Li Yu said: “Thank you, Thirteenth Elder. I will make sure to complete this mission perfectly.”

“I have but one demand,” said Thirteenth Elder, slowly sitting up straight, emanating the aura of someone from an upper position. The young men instinctively straightened their backs in response.

The Thirteenth Elder’s aged eyes swept over each of their faces: “Be it you or Li Tu, you all belong to the Li Family. No matter the size of the conflict, settle it within the family. Outside, there shall be no infighting, nor shall you harm one another. Is that understood?”

Li Yu and the others nodded: “We understand.”

“Alright, you can leave now.”

After leaving the large courtyard, the man beside Li Yu let out a relieved sigh, patting his chest and saying: “Thirteenth Elder’s presence is too strong. When he was staring at me just now, it gave me the creeps.”

Another person voiced their agreement with equal unease: “I felt the same.”

“Everyone go back and prepare. We’ll meet at the airport at twelve o’clock,” Li Yu said, a glint of cold light in his eyes: “This time, I will solve this matter before Li Tu and show the elders that he is nothing but a waste.”

…

Even though Thirteenth Elder knew that the tomb-protecting demon beast was at the Spirit Cultivation Realm, he wasn’t overly concerned.

Both Li Tu and Li Yu were cultivation geniuses of the Li Family, having reached the Abstinence Realm in their early thirties.

Though they were a realm below that demon beast, given the cultivation techniques and spells they had learned, and the weapons in their possession, defeating a higher-ranked adversary was not impossible.

If not for this, how could the Li Family be one of Xuan Country’s eight great families?

…

At Li Xiaoyao’s house in Ling City.

Li Xiaoyao lay on the bed, his face slightly pale.

After facing off against Fang Han of the Ninth Rank of the Abstinence Realm last night, Li Xiaoyao had killed him with a single sword strike, but he had also sustained very serious injuries.

Although it was only a single sword strike, it contained all of Li Xiaoyao’s energy.

Jiang Lichun sat by the bed, his fingers on Li Xiaoyao’s wrist, sensing his condition. Surprised, he said: “Is this kid even human? Such heavy wounds, and in one night, he’s almost completely healed. Truly a monster.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Lichun stood up and left the room to stew demon beast meat for Li Xiaoyao.

No sooner had Jiang Lichun stepped out, Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes.
